Polkadot’s latest milestone of 600k wallets: Can it push DOT to $10?
Key Polkadot on-chain metrics showed that activity has picked up on the network, but it has yet to translate to increased transactions.
- Polkadot has seen an all-time high in active and unique wallets.
- DOT has managed to stay at around $9.
Recent data indicates that Polkadot experienced its highest number of active wallets in the past month, signaling a positive development for the platform. However, this uptick in active wallets was not mirrored in the number of transactions, which did not show a similar positive trend.
Polkadot’s active account crosses 600,000
Analysis of Polkadot‘s active account data reveals that the total number of active accounts in the ecosystem has surpassed 605,000.
Notably, Moonbeam contributed the highest number of active addresses, with over 248,000. This figure represents a new all-time high for the network, surpassing the previous record of around 516,000 set in January.
However, by February, this number had decreased to around 419,000.
Additionally, Polkadot has also achieved a new record in its number of unique accounts. Data analysis indicates that the number of unique accounts reached over 5.59 million by the end of March, surpassing the previous figure of around 5.53 million recorded in February.
This milestone marks a new all-time high for the platform.
Polkadot transactions dip
Despite the increase in unique and active accounts on Polkadot, the number of transactions has yet to rise correspondingly. Analysis of transaction data showed a modest increase compared to February.
The number of transactions reached around 11.5 million, up from approximately 10.8 million in the previous month.
However, both figures remain significantly lower than the 31.7 million transactions recorded in December, a peak that the network has yet to be able to replicate since then.
DOT holds at $9
At the close of the trading session on 8th April, Polkadot (DOT) experienced a 3.9% increase in price. This surge lifted its price from around $8.70 to $9.05. It marked the first notable positive movement for DOT in two weeks.
